Urge your Senators to tackle out-of-control regulatory compliance costs

On May 17, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs approved three pieces of legislation that would improve the regulatory system and reduce the high cost of regulatory compliance faced by manufacturers. Those bills are will now be considered by the full Senate and it is critical that your Senators hear messages of support from constituents.

Act now to let your Senators know that manufacturers need regulatory reform to remain competitive and create jobs.

Manufacturers spend about $20,000 per employee per year on regulatory compliance. For small firms, that number increases to $34,700 per employee. Manufacturers face 297,696 restrictions on their operations from federal regulations. Without reform of our regulatory system, these burdens will continue to grow.

Take action now to send an email to your Senators urging support for the following bills:

  • S. 951, Regulatory Accountability Act of 2017 - Comprehensive reform that requires all agencies to improve public participation, conduct analysis of proposed rules and adopt the most cost-effective regulatory proposal.
  • S. 584, Small Business Regulatory Flexibility Improvements Act of 2017 - Requires agencies to thoughtfully consider the impact of their rules on small businesses.
  • S. 579, Early Participation in Regulations Act of 2017 – Requires agencies to engage the public before determining how to regulate for major rules.
